Ruger LCRx External Hammer

Ruger has expanded its line of partial polymer pistols, introducing the LCRx. The twist on the petite revolver is the addition of an external hammer so it can be fired as a single action. You won’t find many smaller .38 Specials with the revolver weighing in at 13.5 ounces and boasting a 1.87-inch barrel. The MSRP is $529. www.ruger.com

Hey Orwell, I never caught wind the Performance Center M686 was suppose to come out as an eight-round model. Are you sure what you heard wasn’t about 686 and not 327, 627 or M&P R8? Those are all eight-round .357s. As far as Colt is concerned, I have no idea what their future holds concerning revolvers. But I know you are like many, wishing the company would resurrect their double-action line.
